~11 min read 2,121 words

The red light in Lude Jinweis's right eye, wrapped in black pus, became even stronger. Following his astonishing roar, Jinweis waved his right hand and made a forward diving posture again.

Only this time, he didn't carry flames and heat waves to pounce. His body actually disappeared into the air, and then appeared directly in front of Xia De.

"What?"

Too late to dodge, Xia De could only hold the two-handed sword vertically with his right hand and support the back of the sword with his left hand to block.

Clang!

The giant right hand slapped Xia De away like a fly.

Above the sea of fire, the Moonlight Greatsword disintegrated into silver light in the air due to the huge force of the collision. And Xia De in the air fell backward with his hands and feet forward.

After rolling on the ground, he didn't have time to get up, and rolled to the side in the sea of fire again, dodging the black giant hand smashing toward the ground.

Taking advantage of the opponent's slow re-raising of his arm, Xia De climbed up, summoned the Moonlight Greatsword again, held the sword with both hands, swung the sword and slashed at the swollen black right side of the opponent twice, and then retreated immediately:

"Doctor! How can the opponent have space movement!"

He shouted at the top of his lungs.

"He is the master of the dream, it is very normal to make any move! But don't worry, after we broke into here, I used a miracle to make the dream rules closer to the real world. The opponent is not a Ringed Shushi after all, and will not appear with more exaggerated abilities, and the so-called space movement cannot be used frequently!"

Dr. Shi Nai De's voice appeared from the left side of the first floor, almost directly above Xia De's head:

"Detective, do you need my help?"

"Temporarily no need, I can still handle it."

The giant hand swept horizontally along the burning ground again. This time Xia De didn't dodge backward, but disappeared with a step forward, and then appeared behind Jinweis. That giant hand was too huge, and the sweeping attack action couldn't attack the side of the body, so Xia De found an opportunity to stab the opponent's head, and seeing that the wound still healed immediately, he bypassed to the direct rear of Jinweis while the black right hand was attacking, trying to continue to attack in this "safe position".

"You! Refuse to forgive me!"

But didn't expect his body to be more agile than imagined. After the turning action, the normal left hand wanted to grab Xia De's face.

"Chain of Great Sins!"

The pitch-black rune chain flew out from Xia De's sleeve, clinging to Jinweis's left hand, wanting to tie him up. But Jinweis's mouth, half normal and half covered by black pus, opened at this time, and the black pus was almost sprayed on Xia De's face.

Xia De's body disappeared again, appearing behind the opponent. The chain in the sleeve flew out again, binding the opponent's legs. But even in this situation, Jinweis could still smash Xia De with his right hand without moving his legs.

Xia De dodged while pulling the chain in his hand, just wanting to let the chain bind the opponent's terrible right hand and limit the power of the right hand.

But at this time, from the hole above his head, strange rainbow-colored light spots actually drifted down.

"What is this again?"

The burning basement floor, with the appearance of those light spots, emitted pitch-black light. These lights constructed a standard circular ritual base array in the flames.

Ding-dang!

The sound of a bell came from nowhere, and then with a clattering sound, dozens of black metal chains flew out from the glowing ground, binding the dream master who had lost his mind from all directions almost in an instant.

He struggled violently, but with the light of the circular base array on the ground becoming stronger and stronger, Jinweis's left eye slowly closed, and the red light in his right eye also extinguished bit by bit. He seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep again in his own dream, fixed in the circular area in the center of the sea of fire by those dozens of black chains, and finally didn't move at all.

"It's okay, detective."

The doctor's voice appeared from the top of his head again. He held a black bell and jumped down from the edge of the hole in the first-floor floor. Because he was strengthened in the dream, this posture was very dashing.

Xia De nodded hesitantly and withdrew the Chain of Great Sins. The doctor glanced at the runes on the chain, raised his eyebrows, but didn't make an evaluation, instead praising:

"Detective, you have made great progress recently, and now you can handle this kind of monster with ease."

"He is actually not strong."

Xia De emphasized again, and then signaled the doctor to deal with this thing as soon as possible.

"No problem, next, let you see what mental alchemy is."

The doctor let Xia De shake the bell constantly, while he painted paint on Jinweis to write runes, and through a method Xia De couldn't understand, left flashing light bands in the air with his fingers, letting those light bands overlap with the ritual base array.

Dr. Shi Nai De called the process of extracting "Mental Crystal" "Mental Alchemy", which was a very advanced and cutting-edge study.

The entire alchemy process lasted for a full hour in the dream. After the doctor's ritual base array and spells were almost painted in every corner of the basement, he finally let Xia De not have to shake the bell.

The two temporarily left the basement by jumping, standing on the edge of the fracture of the first-floor floor, and in the light of the fire scene, saw the black light below gradually being replaced by pure white, and becoming stronger and stronger.

"Detective, the other party's negative emotions seem a bit strong. You use your moonlight to purify it."

The doctor suddenly suggested, and then closed his eyes. Xia De pointed downward:

"Silver Moon!"

The strong silver light suppressed the surrounding sea of fire in an instant, and when the light dissipated, star-like moonlight even appeared in the white halo in the basement.

"Very good, I think the quality of this alchemy product will be better than previous ones."

The doctor looked very satisfied.

The two waited for another ten minutes, and after the light of the halo gradually dimmed, they jumped back into the sea of fire in the basement.

The light of the ritual base array converged in the crimson flames. Lude Jinweis, whose body returned to normal, lay on the ground. In front of his head, three white crystals the size of rice grains that seemed to be shining with light were lying there quietly:

"You see, even better than I thought."

The doctor said with a smile, bending down to pick up those crystals:

"Xia De, we are going back. Although the adventure in the dream is interesting, it is destined to end. Look, it went very smoothly this time, I said I am a professional."

He wanted to grab Xia De's hand, but Xia De bent down to touch Jinweis's head, determined that he couldn't feel the traces of human pus, and then got up to grab the doctor's hand.

"Then what will happen to him?"

"Nothing will happen, this is just a nightmare for him. Your moonlight cleared his negative emotions, so this person's mood will get better for a short time. Get ready, detective."

Dr. Shi Nai De signaled Xia De to close his eyes:

"Three, two, one!"

"Oh!"

The light of the flames disappeared before his eyes, and his thinking entered chaos again.

Perhaps it was only a second, and the moment his consciousness recovered, Xia De raised his head fiercely.

He breathed heavily, straightening his body from the edge of the bed in the darkness. The rapid switching between dream and reality made him fall into a short-term confusion of thinking, but he quickly sorted out all the situations.

He didn't talk to the doctor for the first time, but reached out to touch Jinweis's head again.

After a short while:

【There is no trace of any demon power.】

"Was it purified by me in the dream?"

Withdrawing his arm with some disappointment, the doctor who had also woken up also reached out to touch Jinweis's head again. In the darkness, it was hard for Xia De to see Dr. Shi Nai De's expression.

"Very good, he is still in sleep, and won't remember that we appeared in the dream after waking up. This dream adventure was very smooth, Xia De, it is indeed that acting with you reduces the possibility of encountering accidents."

The doctor said with a smile, put the white crystals whose light was gradually converging into his palm and handed them to Xia De. They looked like diamonds:

"The things you want."

Xia De nodded. The matter seemed to end like this. He had to inform Lu Wei Ya as soon as possible that Dac Nisi had arrived in this city:

"Doctor, I only need two crystals, you can keep the remaining one yourself."

"No, no, although casting 【Mental Shock】 only needs two drams of crystals, if you encounter an opponent with extremely powerful mental power, the mental crystal may crack under the backlash of the miracle, so it is better to prepare one more."

The two got up from the chairs, restored the furnishings in the bedroom to their original state, and after confirming again that Jinweis was still in sleep, they left the house cautiously.

"This kind of spellcasting material requires touching fingers, so I suggest you find a coppersmith or blacksmith to inlay these three crystals into a ring. Dream crystals are very strong and extremely heat-resistant, so don't worry about damaging them."

The doctor put forward sensible suggestions. The two took off their gloves and shoe covers in the foyer, opened the door gap to look out, confirmed that there was no one in the dim Black Corner Alley, and walked out together.

Standing on the steps and closing the door, turning the handle to confirm it was locked, they returned to Lewis Street from Black Corner Alley. Although they spent a long time in the dream, it had only been forty minutes since they entered Lude Jinweis's house.

Time had reached midnight. Although the gas lamps on the street were on, there was no one on the street, and it looked very cold. And breathing the air of the late summer night that was already a bit cold, Xia De was in a very good mood at this time:

"Doctor, thank you very much for this matter. And this action really opened my eyes."

"It's nothing, it's all small things."

Walking along the street, the upright street lamp poles made them alternate between light and shadow.

Although the doctor was a bit proud, he didn't show it. This blue-eyed middle-aged psychological doctor was very steady.

"However, I noticed that you were actually able to bring things from the dream into reality."

Xia De said while holding the three crystals, planning to find a carriage after leaving this street area.

"Mental crystals themselves are substances between reality and illusion. Through some means, it is very easy to convert them into reality."

The doctor introduced in a low voice.

At this time, two terrible green light spots appeared on the street ahead. But looking closely, it turned out to be a cat crouching in the shadows, staring at Xia De. After Xia De and the doctor approached, the stray cat ran away along the wall again.

"The world of dreams is very magical. You can hide things in dreams. Not only special substances similar to mental crystals, some mental miracles can even hide any real substances into your own dreams."

Because it was chatting, the doctor didn't mind saying more to Xia De.

Xia De nodded:

"Then doctor, can this miracle of hiding things in dreams..."

He suddenly stopped, opened his mouth slightly, widened his eyes, and was stunned in place.

The summer night wind blew on his skin, and the flying insects danced beside the gas street lamp cover in the last period of their lives. It was as if a thunderbolt had split Xia De's head, and even goosebumps appeared on his arms.

"Hiding things in dreams?"

Before realizing what he had thought of, he first realized that he had thought of something important. ===== CHAPTER 494 =====
